This mix produces an almost startling array of gorgeous neon-colored flower spikes in pink, magenta, red, orange, yellow, and pale green. Like all celosias, it originates in Africa and features edible leaves too! Excellent as a cut or dried flower, it provides spectacular color in the garden. A lovely all-season variety.
These seeds come from our friends at Driftless Seed Supply in Wisconsin.
GROWING TIPS: Best transplanted. Sow indoors 6 weeks before last frost date. Plant out once threat of frost has passed. Slow growing at first before taking off.
